Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 55
इति शप्तस्तथा विष्णुर्जगामादृश्यतां क्षणात् । सा चित्रशालापर्यंकः स च तेऽथप्लवंगमाः
iti śaptastathā viṣṇurjagāmādṛśyatāṃ kṣaṇāt | sā citraśālāparyaṃkaḥ sa ca te'thaplavaṃgamāḥ
अशा रीतीने शापित होऊन विष्णू क्षणार्धात अदृश्य झाले. ती चित्रशाळेतील पलंग आणि ते सेवक-गण (प्लवंगम)ही नंतर लोप पावले.
